The argument is whether Twitter should be a public square. It's pretty ironic people are obsessed with the public square metaphor when American try their damned hardest to eliminate any public square via zoning.

I doubt, and not really concerned that Twitter will become a den for Nazis. If you look at the actions of the Twitter moderation team, you will find that they don't do all that much and in fact Twitter is pretty much self moderated. You get cancelled by the mob, not Jack Dorsey. It's this fact that should be watched - will Elon enforce free speech by silencing the mob of dissenting opinion?

This is how public squares actually operate. If I begin hollering at the top of my lungs in the middle of a public square either (1) everyone leaves or (2) I'm violently removed. I don't know what free speech haven people are looking for; even 4chan has rules.

Then there are no public squares on the internet. Even 4Chan has rules and moderation.

Bingo.

There never were "public squares" on the internet. Every site has always been someone's private fiefdom. Every social media platform has always been a business, and no matter how big it is, it doesn't automatically become public property.

Also freedom of speech doesn't guarantee the right to a platform.

All this used to be common knowledge until a few years ago.

Public squares in real life have rules and moderation.

300 million monthly active users including noise on Twitter.

Last I checked there are 7+ billion humans.

It’s a town square in Elons hyperbolic narcissistic imagination.

It’s where westerners shit post at each other, not a town square

Nazi's rallying to kill Jews, or Jihadi to behead infidels, is not something that is normally allowed on a public square either. Does that make the entire public space in Western countries a Disneyland in your opinion?

Nazis rallying to kill Jews and Jews rallying to kill Nazis are allowed in different countries in different time periods and forbidden at different times or places.

Disneyworld not Disneyland or euro Disney. Disneyworld has a corporate vision of family, happiness which is at odds with the way they are run internally.
